50,000 GM Workers on Strike

[Infected Mushroom]

How dishonorable

Unless GM didn’t give the workers what they promised on paper (I highly doubt it), this strike is most unjustified

You can’t just strike one day because you say “oh I should be getting more than what I was promised”

For someone who purports to have gone to law school, you really have absolutely no idea how contracts work.

When a contract expires, it is no longer in force and therefore legally speaking does not exist.

Does the situation only include one contract though?

In many employment jurisdictions you have a contract between employer and union and then a separate one for each and every individual worker

Yes you can.

Oh for fuck's sake IM, are you still going on about that "honor" shite? How is it even applicable here?

And the strike is justified in light of the previous contract expiring and no other solution being in sight.

We could also say that it is GM who are dishonourable, for not restoring the pay of the workers who saw them through the Great Recession.
